Chapter 120: Grab One
Seeing the water in the pot boiling, the cook threw the chopped dried fish into it.
This cooking technique was only enjoyed by people in the south of the empire, and it was also the common cooking method of the common class. The southeastern side of the empire borders the Federation, which has a long coastline, underdeveloped agriculture but particularly developed fisheries, and many people in the Federation like to eat fish. Of course, this may also be due to the lack of arable land in the Federation, which does not produce enough food to supply the entire country, and the southeastern territories of the empire bordering the Federation, especially on the border line, people are more willing to exchange rich grain for cheap fish and meat.
Fish is also meat, as long as it is meat.
These dried fish are partly freshwater fish and partly marine fish.
In order to preserve it for a long time, it is salted with a small amount of salt and then dried, and the flavor is unique, and ordinary people really can't accept it.
Soon the smell spread in the small courtyard, and everyone moved their index fingers, and the big guy took out a wooden bowl with a big face, filled it with a bowl for each person, and sat around the fire and snorted and ate. The freshly cooked wheat kernel rice is very hot, and eating them one by one is called an embarrassment, but it makes people feel that what they eat must be particularly delicious and can hook people's appetite.
"Suck ...... Hah, Boss...... , when are you going to find a few little girls to have fun?", they all said that they were full of warmth and lust [harmony], this group of guys themselves were energetic soldiers, and their identities were not private soldiers as determined by Rosie, but genuine border soldiers. Living on the border all year round, either going to the Federation to loot, or resisting the small-scale invasion of the Federation, all of them are guys who have no tomorrow, and they have a lot of energy, they are full of food and drink, and their whole body is warm, so they naturally want to do some food consumption activities.
The boss of the black strong hesitated, and during this time, in order to avoid exposing himself too early, he ordered his subordinates not to go out as much as possible. Two languages were spoken in the Tuhlman Empire, one being the lingua franca and the other being the indigenous Tuhrman language. The lingua franca is still being promoted, not many people use it, and most people still speak the official language of Tuhlmann. Without the training and teaching of a standard pronunciation, people from all over the world speak with the accent of their hometown. These accents may seem to them to be no different from what others say, but to the people of the imperial capital who are used to speaking standard official words, it is very obvious.
If they are allowed to go out and have fun, a bunch of outsiders with southern accents will come out of the imperial capital overnight, as long as they are not stupid, they will know that there is a problem.
But the physiological problems of his subordinates do need to be considered, he is not an unreasonable officer, and he also understands that as a soldier, and he is still performing this special task, everyone has a lot of psychological pressure and needs to vent.
After a moment, he nodded, and everyone in the courtyard cheered.
"Tell the other brothers, try to go to a farther place to have fun, don't get together, go out in batches, and it's best to find some secret prostitutes, those people won't make a noise. He put down the bowl, his eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, making people dare not look directly, "Tell the brothers, you must keep a low profile, even if you are beaten, don't fight back." If I let me know that any of you have ruined something big because you went out to have fun, even if you escaped a small life and came back, I would not keep you!"
"Boss, don't worry....... ”
As soon as they heard that they could finally relax, a group of men had smiles on their faces that only men understood, and they all laughed extremely obscenely. After sweeping the contents of the bowl three times and two times, his ass couldn't sit still, and he was waiting to leave with a roar.
After explaining some things, the guys in the small yard left one after another, and the cook began to clean up. While cleaning up, he said, "Boss, the food is almost finished, do you want to change the taste?"
The black man shook his head, "You look at it." ”
What does this mean? Agree or disagree? The cook was a little confused, and since he shook his head, he continued to buy dried fish.
After cleaning up the pots and pans, the cook closed the courtyard door with the money bag and swayed towards the nearest grocery store.
If you want to say that it is wonderful, it is really wonderful, and other foods are sold in special stores, such as bakeries, wheat shops, meat stores, and only dried fish can only be bought in grocery stores. When I passed by the butcher shop, the cook took money to buy a three-finger thick piece of ham, and the shop sliced it thinly, and rolled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, whether it was raw or not. Squinting while chewing, this ham is really delicious, much better than dried fish.
I've been eating dried fish for several years, and I'm tired of eating it, but the boss doesn't open his mouth, and he doesn't dare to make decisions to buy meat products. Not to mention the high price of meat products, it is easy to get an idea if you buy a large amount of meat - for Xiacheng District, meat can only be eaten once in a while, and there are not many things to buy at one time, and all the people living here are poor, and not everyone has the money to buy dozens of catties at a time.
Walking into the grocery store, the cook was stunned, there are a lot of people in the store today? He looked at the boss, and the boss looked unhappy as if he was constipated. He was stunned, shook his head, muttered a word to come back again, turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, there was wind in his ears, and he faintly noticed that someone was rushing towards him behind him, his heart thumped, his face turned cold, and he rushed out of the door.
It's a pity that there were already two circles of people standing outside the door, and he directly collided with the two of them, and the people behind him also chased after him and pressed him to the ground. Without saying a word, the men raised their sticks and tapped him twice on the head, losing their resistance and being dragged into the grocery store.
The whole process took less than 20 seconds, and many passers-by returned to calm on the road before they could react.
The cook was escorted to the back of the grocery store, and thirty or forty people stood in a small place, one of whom sat on a chair, with his hands on the armrests, and his ten fingers clasped together in front of him, and looked at him coldly.
"Brothers, masters, are you mistaken?"
A guy standing next to the chair came over and punched him in the nose, and his entire facial features were squeezed together, his nose was sore and painful, and two hot streams spurted out along his nasal cavity.
"Master Rosie asked me to greet you!", the guy grinned with bared teeth, "Tell me everything you know." He raised his hand, and the cook was set up in front of him.
"This man, are you looking for the wrong person? What should I explain?", the cook looked dazed, and bit the tip of his tongue lightly, so that his confused head suddenly sobered up. He glanced around, all dressed as imperial magistrates, and the two doors that he could see were also blocked, and it was almost impossible to escape. He secretly said in his heart that he was afraid that he would suffer this time, but the expression on his face became even more innocent, and he almost cried.
The guy who hit him took out a knuckle from his pocket and clasped it in his hand, and asked with a sinister smile, "How many of you are there?"
"Just me, ....... ”
With a bang, his whole body was bent up and lifted up suddenly, rising from the ground, this punch was particularly real, his abdomen turned over the river, and a sharp pain came. The cook took a deep breath, his whole stomach hurting, and the punch might have hurt his internal organs.
The man continued, "Where are you all gathered?"
The cook cried with tears and snot mixed with nosebleeds, and cried out with a crying voice: "I really don't know what you're talking about, of course I live in my own house." ”
The man stepped forward, rounded his raised arm and punched him again, and the cook was beaten again, and his eyes turned black. He suddenly felt a hot liquid rush up his throat, opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"What is your identity and who is the leader?"
"When did you come to the imperial capital, and what is your mission?"
"What's your name, and where are you from?"
After punching down, the cook's consciousness began to blur, and the experience of years of fighting told him that his intestines were at least broken into several pieces, and several important organs were estimated to have been broken, and he would definitely not survive such a serious injury. He smiled miserably, it was good to die like this, at least he kept the secret, the only pity was that he did not die on the battlefield, but died in such a place. He barely opened his increasingly heavy eyelids, glanced at the man standing in front of him, spat out a mouthful of blood foam with all his strength, and after laughing a few lowly, he closed his eyes and waited for death.
The seated young man nodded, and finally spoke, "It's a warrior, and since you're a warrior, you can't let you die." As soon as he raised his hand, a ray of light shot out, instantly enveloping the cook's body.
Streams of heat rushed through the cook's body, and the feeling of weakness quietly left his body, and the strength returned to his body, and he didn't even feel pain. He snapped his eyes open and glanced at his beaten bloody belly, and through the torn clothes, he couldn't even see a scar on his exposed belly.
His brain was extremely clear, and he felt as if he had never been injured at all, as if what had happened before was a nightmare?!
He suddenly looked up at the young man sitting in the chair, stared at him deadly, and said through gritted teeth, "Pastor?"
